Much of this season has been spent complaining about a Pitt defense that struggled to keep teams from scoring. The Panthers' defensive unit played a good game against FCS Villanova, holding them to only seven points and 172 yards of total offense. But since then, they've allowed 121 points to Penn State, Oklahoma State, and North Carolina.
It's easy to lump the collective problems of the defense and put all of the players into one basket. But one guy that's stood out and has done more than his fair share is defensive end Ejuan Price.
Price is not only having a great year, but four games into the season, he is the team's Most Valuable Player.
